Erasmus+ Programme: Finance

Asked by Mike WoodConservativeCabinet OfficeTabled Answered 7 July 2026UIN 14855

The question

To ask the Minister for the Cabinet Office, what assessment he has made of the potential impact of the European Commission's proposals to increase the Erasmus+ budget for 2028-2034 on the size of the United Kingdom's contribution to the Erasmus+ budget from 2028.

Answered by Nick Thomas-Symonds

We have successfully negotiated fair terms for the UK’s association to Erasmus+ in 2027 - the final year of the EU’s 2021-2027 Multiannual Financial Framework. Any participation in Erasmus+ into the next Multiannual Financial Framework will need to be agreed in the future and be based on a fair and balanced contribution. Going forward, our experience of associating in 2027 will inform any future participation in Erasmus+ under the next Multiannual Financial Framework.
